This guy is delusional. But the actions of the United States and the United Kingdom have not aided terrorism in Iraq/Syria whatsoever. I really wish these government officials would try and address the root of the problem (our reckless foreign policy) and not spreading the constant fear of terrorism.

I don't see that he is delusional, even if you disagree with the approach taken. The key bit of the piece he wrote in the FT:

[Tech services] have become the command-and-control networks of choice for terrorists and criminals, who find their services as transformational as the rest of us.

His responsibility is not the foreign policy, but to deal with its fallout. And terrorism is not just Islamic fundamentalism; the threats change over time.

There are things in the world worth more than getting an idea out there. Knowing that the project(s) I've shelved has/have likely kept a few people alive is worth more than being able to say I stuck it to the man.
